Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 8963 it appears that Daniel Dodge of New London County, Connecticut enlisted in the spring of 1775 and served until 1780 in Captain Ely's Connecticut Company and was in the battles of Bunker Hill, Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.
He enlisted in 1780 and served for eighteen months, names of officers not stated.
He enlisted in Captain Lytle's Company, Connecticut Militia, and was in the battle of Johnstown, New York, in which battle he was killed, October 24, 1781.

J. L. Edwards Sir
Enclosed I forward you the declaration of Irene Hubbs, formerly Irene Dodge the wife of Daniel Dodge stating the services rendered by her said first husband during the war of the Revolution and for which she claims a pension under the provisions of the Act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836 and also the act passed during the last Congress relating widows who have married the second time upon an equal footing with those who still remain widows since the death of their revolutionary husbands. I have not the act of the last Session before me and consequently can not set it out in its own language. Appended to said declaration is the affidavit of Elizabeth Wheeler going to establish the said services also proof of the first marriage. Mrs Hubbs informs me that she believes that the record of her marriage with Daniel Dodge has been lost, but if you wish for a copy of the record or a certificate of its having been lost from the proper officer. I will write on to Lyme New London County Connecticut and ascertain that fact.
For the information of your department I will state that Mrs. Hubbs requested a member of Congress to examine the

rolls attesting the amount of services rendered by the Soldiers of Connecticut and the said Member of Congress informed her, that the name of Daniel Dodge was found recorded thereon.
She states that her husband - Daniel Dodge entered the service during the war and I wish you to inform me if his representatives are not entitled to a bounty of land. All the information touching this subject which you can conveniently impart will be gladly received.
You will write me immediately upon the reception and examination of the enclosed claim what is the determination of your Department concerning it and whether or not you desire further and more information upon it.
Yours Respectfully
